04:00 Up, dress, coffee, grab my gear and defrost the car. Not enough petrol..Dam..Quick stop at the local BP
to fill up. 1hrs 50mins later I’m at the destination roughly 85 miles traveled. It’s pitch black when I arrive at the
carpark…I look up and the sky is clear as a bell and full of twinkling stars..But its is super cold! Coffee and then I wait for blue hour. Not quite dark and not quite sunrise…But the hint of a dawn glow.

This first shot shows a gap between the trees.

And when you follow that gap you see this view point.

Frozen pond. At Mogshade Hill there is a large’ish shallow pond…The light today really didn’t make it pop.

I wouldn’t have been doing that icy trip myself, but your early start got you some lovely light in the sky and on those trees. Lovely shots.
Best wishes, Pete.

It’s all about the light and the beautiful subtlety of it…But getting up and driving through the weee hours requires the some discipline. Cheers AK
